A punch of aroma right up front, perfectly balanced caramel malts swimming in layers of citrus and floral hops. Bright yet warming.

Crisp hop bitterness with the first sip quickly followed by a rush of luscious caramel malt over the tongue. Hops quickly take the lead again with some pine-like resin flavors balancing out the malt sweetness. Body is thick and full but finishes dry with a lingering hop flavor to cleanup the aftertaste.

The Québécois can do an IIPA just as well as any American brewery I've sampled from. The balance between the warm, sweet malt body and the bright pungent hops is perfect. This bottle quickly disappeared, I really hope I don't have to drive to Canada to find this again.

Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub. Colombus and Amarillo hops,the latter imparting some orange taste a good hop mix. A bit of odd sweetness however. Boozy, is it 9%? Decent drinkability.Average mouthfeel, could be some caramel instead of sugary. Median carbonation.

Draft: Poured a deep copper color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of piney and citrus notes are quiet intense and enjoyable. Taste is also a very good mix between some piney and citrus hops with a solid caramel malt backbone and a bitter finish. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Well brewed with intense hoppy notes veering on the floral side instead of pure bitterness.

S: Ok nose, with notes of oranges, and grapefruit. This isn't as hoppy as I was expecting for an Imperial IPA.

T: Ok, this is totally sweet. I really hate this kind of IPA, with a lot of residual sugar. And the alcohol is overpowering too, the 10% alc. is really taking the lead. Malts also have the main role, with hops being masked. It's like a sweet pink lemonade, or sweet pink grapefruit juice. It was really hard to drink the whole bottle, and we were 3 sharing it.

O: One of the wort Imperial IPA I've tried yet, at a pretty high price (12$ a bottle). I'd never buy it again, and I'll try to trade the remaining one to someone. Definetely not drinking this again, life is too short ; )

Had this on tap at the brewpub. The menu said it has 100 IBUs... I loves me some hops so I was really looking forward to this one.

The smell of the hops is very prominent, so far so good. I could taste all the hoppy goodness for a split second until the sweetness took over. To be fair, the menu did warn me about the sweetness, but I wasn`t prepared for how sweet it would be. By the end of the glass I couldn`t really enjoy the beer anymore, it was was just too sickly sweet.

It`s a real shame, because I can taste the potential for a very good beer, but the sweetness needs to be toned down a lot.

Now 10% abv, and judging by the reviews, I think this has really evolved.

Golden bronze with a white head, good retention, really great lace.

A tropical aroma of papaya and mango, candied pineapple, marmalade and toffee. Not overpowering, but certainly enticing.

Papaya and mango really come through in the flavour as well, solid bitterness, but not the least bit harsh. Alcohol is certainly warming. Biscuit, marmalade and toffee round out the flavour. There's a little resin from the hops, but it's not the pine and grapefruit rind that's often found in this style.

A: Very hazy golden color. Huge puffy cream white head with very good retention and decent lacing.

S: First thing I notice is that candi sugar type of thing as well as the rose water smell that reminds me of the Belgian IPA of Boquebiere. Not a good thing, at all... The rest is decent. Obvious simcoe hops that brings orange zest, lemon juice and some light pine. Some malty sweetness in the back.

T: Taste is nowhere as strong as what I expected for 100 IBU (the beer is almost 2 months old though). Candi sugar/rose water combo is thankfully not as strong as in the smell. Orange zest and lime juice are still there, but not as strong as expected. Malty sweetness again.

M: Creamy and lightly sticky, like a good IPA should be like.

O: Decent beer enough from a micro I didn't know much about. Nothing out of this world good, but decent IPA, which is a rare sight in Quebec.
